</ul>
</li>
<li>Available editions that can be changed to are shown in the script based on all these 4 options.</li>
<li>The script is future-proof, which means that it won't need an update upon the release of new Windows / Server editions and can get the required product key from the system itself.</li>
<li>The script blocks changing to CountrySpecific, ServerRdsh, and to/from CloudEdition editions since it's officially not supported and the user may face issues.</li>
<li>The script cannot change,<!---->
<ul>
<li>Non-Core editions to Core editions (For example, Pro > Home isn't available)</li>
<li>GAC editions to LTSC editions (For example, Enterprise > Enterprise LTSC isn't available)</li>
</ul>
</li>
